Book excerpt: Excerpt from Handbook on the Law of Partnership, Including Limited Partnerships The original arrangement with the publishers contem plated, not an entirely new treatise on the law of Partner ship, but merely a new edition of Mr. William George's' text on this subject. After the work was begun, however, it seemed advisable to abandon Mr. George's text for the most part, and to prepare a substantially new treatise, us ing such portions of his work as should be found suitable. With the exception, therefore, of Chapters VIII and IX, the present book, both in arrangement and text, is new. A few passages and a number of citations and notes have been taken from Mr. George. Chapters VIII and IX are repro duced substantially as found in Mr. George's book, with the addition of later cases. The law on the subject being rea sonably well worked out in the authorities, the aim of the present author has been to make a clear and definite state ment of the leading principles, in a form serviceable alike to students and practitioners. Whatever merit the book has lies in this direction, rather than in the discussion of controverted points, or the advancement of new theories. The citations, while including all the leading cases, are not exhaustive, but are sufficiently full for practical purposes. The author acknowledges his great indebtedness for valua ble assistance in the task to Mr. Henry A. Hirshberg and to Mr. Oliver S. Rundell; also to Mr. Olcott O. Partridge for his preparation of the chapter on Limited Partnerships. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
